Dear @uio and @everyone else reading this comment
Interesting choice of topic.
Personally I found being judgemental is one of the worst habbit people have. It doesn't seem to help anyone, simply because those people are usually having only negative judgements.
Dealing with those who judge you can feel like drinking a poison. So obviously most of us would like to cut ourselfs off from those who act this way.
Your suggestion is absolutely perfect. Encouraging and supporting our close friends will surely bring better results.
And just like you've said:
Why criticism is bad, there are rare chances that the opponent is going to take this as a challenge and put all his/her effort to grow out of that problem.
I hope you don't mind that I will share your post with wider audience and will get you some extra traffic (hopefully you do also reply to comments :)
I would like to know how others deal with judgemental people, especially if we are forced to be around some of them (family memebers or close friends).
Yours

Dear @uio and @crypto.piotr at the risk of being repetitive I say this "Great Topic for a writeup"
In my experience people seems to have an opinion about everything specially about things that least concern them.
I am reminded of the story of a painter who had made a wonderful painting . So to gauge the reaction of people he displayed it and asked people about their opinion and if something was missing or not right.
He kept a blank board so that people could record their observations.
Next day he found the board filled with negative comments someone did not like the color scheme ,other found the subject too boring .. so on and so forth.
He was greatly disappointed and thought of destoying his art work.
He was however stopped by a friend who had a suggestion to offer...
As per the suggestion he kept the painting again for display and along with it kept a brush and a board.
Along with it hung a note .. If you think the painting is bad please make better painting ...Here are the brushes,colors and a blank canvas..
Days passed but not a single person even tried to paint a better painting.
The motto of the story people would have an opinion. It is up to us how we take it and let us influence it.
We have to be selective in responding to criticism
I know this is easier said than done but can we let our lives be governed by other peoples choices and opinions ?
I do not think so as life is to precious to be run by other people
Just my 2 cents :)
